OK reading up on the guitar on your site, this is one strange animal! It's yelling "hair rock!" with its fancy flames and pointy headstock but then it has a 7.25" radius fretboard and a V-neck? V..ender? Crazy stuff!

"Strange animals" are what makes Japanese guitars and the JDM the cloud nine for guitar connoisseurs, the kingdom of deviant tastes and the horn of plenty for super-specific desires...to this day! So much variety, so many colors, such strange things and so many irresistible G.A.S.-generators...

lol, I agree. It’s the same for the star shaped FVD that I have. That one even came with a locking nut - everything screamed “shredder”. But again, 7.15 radius. The only one so far I have that deviates from the the 7.25 radius is the TSG. I’ll be writing an article on it soon

Stunning guitar. Thanks for working this out. There is almost nothing to find about the pickips and the difference between the P1-11BZ and the P1-14BZ. I have an EXD-120 which I imported from Japan. Same wiring I think.

EXD 120, Nice! That would be very similar to my FSD 120 which I covered in this article (link). After looking carefully at all the catalogs I found one table that shows the differences between pickups offered but no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t get the resolution of the image higher and this could not have it translated! It’s the green table in the image below
